Judge Says ICE Can't Just Terrorize Protesters. How Hospitable.
The Independent reports a judge finally decided that Immigrant and Customs Enforcement agents shouldn't be treating peaceful protest rallies like open season for vehicle stops and arbitrary detentions. This groundbreaking judicial insight comes after a lawsuit filed following ICE's charming practice of showing up to George Floyd protests and 'detaining' anyone who looked like they might have
outstanding immigration warrants. One might wonder what specific national security threat 'peaceful Minneapolis protestor' poses to demand such GESTAPO tactics. While the mainstream media frames this as a significant check on ICE overreach, it begs the question: why did it take a lawsuit and a federal judge to state the obvious? Is the idea of due process and freedom of assembly so alien to
federal agents that explicit court orders are now required to prevent them from terrorizing citizens and residents alike? One can only assume their training manual for 'democracy suppression' is quite comprehensive.
